Well folks, when it became clear that I needed to find a UX design solution to resolve the Pollaments problems, I did what was necessary to become a UX designer!
I spent the last three months studying hard and working on projects for my portfolio. I feel way more confident that this newly acquired skillset will lead to a decent career trajectory soon.
Speaking of portfolio: there's a section in there all about the plans for the pollaments! I'm going to try to design an app or a responsive mobile site. You can see it all here: http://design.willfelix.com/
